Internet may hone future terrorists - Chertoff

Oct 17, 2006
Disaffected people living in the US may develop radical ideologies and potentially violent skills over the Internet, something that can present the next major security threat to the nation and to the world, Reuters quoted Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff as saying.

"We now have a capability of someone to radicalize themselves over the Internet," Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of the International Association of the Chiefs of Police last Monday.

"They can train themselves over the Internet. They never have to necessarily go to the training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of hatred and technical skills in things like bomb-making is a dangerous combination," Chertoff said. "Those are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites."

To help gather intelligence on possible homegrown attackers, he said Homeland Security would deploy 20 field agents this fiscal year into "intelligence fusion centers," where they would work with local police agencies.

1. Inevitable.

Since the only voices of dissent against the GOP plunder of this country are carried on the Net, it's no surprise that the Net itself is the next logical target. Once the Net has been 'tamed' into nothing more than an advertising and entertainment channel, nothing will ever again ruffle the smooth waters of propaganda.

2. So it begins

Who wants to start a pool. I give it 1 1/2 years if the rethugs keep both houses for liberal forums to be labeled "enemy combatants"

3. Internet may prevent future dictatorships

Disaffected people living in the US may prevent radical ideologies using the Internet, ideologies which may present the next major security threat to the nation and to the world, Reuters quoted Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff as saying.

"We are losing the capability to radicalize the government because of the Internet," Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of the International Association of the Chiefs of Police last Monday.

"They can train themselves over the Internet. They never have to necessarily go to the training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of will and technical skills is preventing our immediate takeover," Chertoff said. "Those are the kind of patriots that we may not be able to stuff down in Gitmo without someone finding out."

"The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures..."
~Adolf Hitler, March 23, 1933, before the German Parliment (Reichstag) as he urged them to pass his "Enabling Act"



The Enabling day of the 21st century, October 17, 2006, in following the last true dear leader of the warmongering party Adolph Hitler, Bush family friend and business partner!
